I doubt that they dezigned it intentionally, probably just didn't really think about it or there is something on a technical level what doesn't allow them to make keeping alts more comfortable - our noodle code isn't a big secret really. Plus, it's hard to say what should be done to begin with because different people have different view on that. For instance, I can agree with the fact that things like housing and event glamours should be shareable, but quests and achievments, imo, should not. At the same time there can be people who thinks that housing should be separated and achievments should be shareable. Just as example.
